The website of the Romanian Pirate Party was launched on 9 June 2009, and the first online meeting was held on 19 July 2009. The same year, on 6 August, members held their first live meeting, while one month later, on 7 September, the first article regarding the party was published in the Romanian online media.[3]

In preparation for the official registration the party statute was approved by the founding members, and the first elected board is composed of Cristian Bulumac (President), Ştefan Marius Angelescu (Vice-President) and Claudiu Marginean (Founding President).

On 11 February 2014 the party has submitted to the authorities the official request to be legally registered as a political party without the required signatures of 25,000 founding members.[4]

The Pirate Party contested the electoral law at the Constitutional Court of Romania, arguing that the law violates freedom of association.[5] In February 2015, the Constitutional Court heard the case of the Pirate Party leaders and admitted their contestation, overturning the section of the electoral law mandating the number of founding members.[5]
